we established two principles with respect to technology policy. one, we said let's ensure that there is no discrimination. what goes on off-line and what goes on online should be parallel so that we can encourage both parts of the american economy and that principle, mr. president, has made a lot of sense. in fact, it's led to a great many stores, i'm sure at home in indiana for the president of the senate, it's meant there's a lot of stores with bricks and clicks. and, in fact, they look to try and have a vigorous preps in both states because the two are mutually reinforcing. and to do that you've got to ensure that there is a policy of nondiscrimination. and what i have done is outlined very specifically about how the marketplace fairness act moves away from that principle of nondiscrimination by giving in many jurisdictions these brick and mortar retailers a leg up. what i am in favor of is continuing that policy which has made sense for 15 years. and then we talked about doing no harm and ensuring that especially we promoted voluntary approach

online market may now exceed gun shows in terms of sales volume, and we all know how we're using our technology more and more every day for our personal lives and how we defend on it. for example, the national shooting sports foundation surveyed owners of modern sporting rifles in 2010 and found that 10% of them, 10% of all rifles sold had purchased their firearms at gun shows, whereas 25% had purchased them online. 25%. believe me, i understand the political stakes for my colleagues and i sympathize. i have been there. i understand it. and comes from states like west virginia, and no state has a higher regard for the second amendment rights to bear arms than my state. in fact, on the great seal of the state of west virginia, the preamble is montani sember liberai. in latin, that means mountaineers are always free. you know how we feel. one of the review states that became a state during the civil war, broke away from virginia at that time. but west virginians are also guided by a little common sense. i have said this. in west virginia, we know what nonsense is, we know what common sense is, an
